Time To Come Back Home - Shirley Caesar

The preacher gave the sermon

Then extended both his hands

The holy ghost was falling

On every listening man

But a lone some sat so late

And may have drifted far away

As he called them to the altar

You could hear the spirit say

It’s time to come back home

Where you belong

It’s time to come back home

Where you belong

Never more to roam from this place again

As the Lord poured out his spirit

And convicted more and more

The folks came round the altar

And repented down in their souls

Their tears were overflowing

But their hearts were filled with grace

Thanking the Lord for victory

And the joy that he gave

It’s time to come back home

Where you belong

It’s time to come back home

Where you belong

Never more to roam, hallelujah

Never more to roam

Never more to roam, I ain’t goin' to roam, no, I ain’t

Never more to roam from this place again

It’s time to come back home

It’s time to come back home

Sinner man, Jesus said, if any man hear my voice

Harden not your heart

Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart today

He says, behold, I stand at the door and knock

And if any man will open onto me

I will come in unto him and I will sup with him

Sinner, Jesus loves you, can’t you feel his love?

The spirit is calling, he is reaching out his hand to you

He wants you, he needs you

He’s calling you, he wants you, can’t you hear his voice?

He’s calling you

Jesus says if any man, if any man be in Christ

He is a brand new creature, yes he is

Come on to Jesus

Make up in your mind right now

You’ve been sitting there to long

You’ve been waiting to long

Telling everybody, «I have plenty of time, but I won’t turn around right now»

All of your time is running out, it’s already running out

It’s time to come home to Jesus, for the blood is running over, if you’re

praying

Don’t you, don’t plan for tomorrow

It’s time to come, it’s time to live right
